snaps are for canvass. knots are for fish.

some guys swear bye added attraction of snaps like they swear bye tailwraps but for me it's knot or nuthing.
Check out the no-slip mono loop too. 90% or more breaking strength. The Homer Rhode is a good knot but it tests out at about 50% of your line strength with lighter leader material. It works great with heavy leader material or wire, but be careful when you start getting under 30# test.
